They call this one “Classic Cher” because why? “Hauled Out of the Storage Warehouse” isn’t quite punchy enough for a billboard?
It would be fitting, though, for anyone who saw the pop icon’s Caesars Palace show from 2008 to 2011 and really missed that motorized gondola.

Two of the world’s biggest music divas performed in Las Vegas during their extended residencies that started last week. Both Cher and Diana Ross brought their time-honored hits to the Strip at different resorts.
Cher returned to Las Vegas to launched her extended engagement of Classic Cher with her biggest hits over the past 50 years at the new Park Theater at Monte Carlo. Over her career, Cher won an Academy Award, Grammys and Emmys, bringing all over her talents to the stage along with 11 extravagant, eye-popping costumes designed by the legendary Bob Mackie.

Do you believe in life after Cher? “This is our last goodbye, it’s true,” she sang in “Strong Enough,” the second number in her thundering glitterstorm of a new show, Classic Cher, which opened last week to a giddy Las Vegas crowd of 5,000 in the Park Theater at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino.
But who knows what to believe when it comes to comebacks by our dear, dithering diva. After all, it’s been a dozen years since Cher announced her official Farewell Tour.
Chicago’s fashionista set is sure to be front and center Tuesday night as the Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum honors famed designer Bob Mackie with the group’s Designer of Excellence Award.

At this Saturday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award won't be just a movie star: She's a performer who's brought her presence to TV, to movies and to the stage. It's Carol Burnett, who is perhaps most famous for starring on 11 seasons (and nearly 300 episodes) of The Carol Burnett Show.
